You're just throwing your money away. 一模一样： https://www.aliexpress.com/item/hot-sell-new-free-shipping-hot-sell-new-antique-old-Handcrafted-Solid-silver-copper-Miao-Silver/32903811460.html?spm=2114 (Moulded.

Shelley Posted October 14, 2018 at 08:24 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 at 08:24 PM Aren't there some rules about the use of antique, vintage, classic and the like? I know here in UK a motorbike is veteran if it built before 1915 and after as vintage but there is also the loose classification of classic, anything built before 1981 and for UK road tax purposes Historic its before 1977. How can they just say something is antique without any provenance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted October 14, 2018 at 10:42 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 at 10:42 PM I'm still wondering what the first character is before …寶齋, 難道是榮？Looks something like 琴 but with a 罒 at the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaytanDova Posted October 15, 2018 at 08:33 AM Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 at 08:33 AM Antique refers to being over 100 years old in England at least. Technically this listing on eBay isn't legal, it's more of a common mistake though. I'll tell the guy at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
